The election will be held Saturday, June 4. Registration will be held tom orrow and the following Saturday at the court house and challenge day will take place on the Saturday after that. There is little likelihood of any registration being challeng ed since not one has ^een challeng ed in the last eight years, F. R. Seeley, elections board chairman said. Two bond issues and an increase in the gasoline tax will be voted on in the election. The first issue is for 200 million dollars to build secondary roads in the state. Tied in with the issue is a one cent per gallon tax increase which will be ^automatic if the road bond is approved. The second bond issue is for 25 million dollars to improve or build new schools in the state. Both bond issues were hotly con tested in this year's Legislature but were finally passed for the voters approval after Governor Kerr Scott worked strenuosly for their passage. Legislative observers said the one cent gasoline tax in crease was tied in with the road bond issuue in order to give it less chance of gaining a majority in * the election.

North Carolina's menhaden fishery is fea tured in an article in the June issue of the National Geographic Magazine by Leonard C. Roy, a member <?f the publication's edi torial staff. Although menhaden are caught along the Atlantic coast from Long Island southward, and in the Gulf of Mexico, Roy chose the More head City-Beaufort area to make his on-the-spot study of fish and fisheries. Publication of the article in the National Geographic means that North Carolina's place in the men haden industry will be made known to 1,800,000 members of the Socicty throughout the world and the story will be available to readers in nearly every municipal, school and college library in the United States.

Late Blight Hits County Potatoes Late blight of potatoes has al ready made its appearance on a number of Carteret county farms, reports R. M. Williams, county farm agent. Leading potato grower? state that I his is the earliest date that ihis disease has ever attacked the potato crops in the county. The disease spreads very rapidly dur ing cool wet weather. The blight is usually1 seen first on the margin of the lowei^ leaves and works inward until the entire leaf is affected and killed. A white fungus growth is often observed on the under surface of the leaf where affected. The organism may also attack the potato causing slightly sunken brownish or pur plish spots that enlarge until the entire potato is affected. By cut ting into blight-infected potatose, granular reddish blotche? will be observed. There are a number of treat ments on the market that have proven effective in the control of late blight such as Parzate dust, Zerlate-dust, Copper Oxychloride sulfate - dust, Parzate dust and Bordeaux mixture as a spray. A dust containing 7 rf* copper has already chec ked the blight disease on potato fields in the cotfhty. Mr. William* re<*omnie?tiieiLtl*at from 30 to 40 pounds per acre of either of these dusts be applied at weekly intervals from now until digging time. Potaty yields can be reduced considerably between now and harvest time if attacked severly by late blight, stated Mr. Williams.

Morris, recorder's court judge -of Carteret county and resident of Atlantic, may pro ceed to rebuild bis burned fish factory at Lennoxville, despite a neighbor's objections, . the State Supreme court ruled Wednesday at Raleigh, but he is not given a license to operate it as a nuisance. The neighbor, Charles L. Pake, had sought to get a perpetual in junction against Mr. Morris or anyone else putting a fish factory near his home. Carteret county superior court denied him such an injunction, and he appealed to the highest court. Pake's contention was that Mr. Morris' first factor^ made his homeplace almost unlivable be cause of odors coming from the plain, where fish are crushed for oil and fertilizer. When it burned, Pake thought he was free of the alleged nui sance, but now that Mr. Morris intends to rebuild Mr. Pake is objecting to the project. "A fish factory," the Supreme court said, "is not a nuisance per se; situation, environment and manner of operation determine its status." It added that Pake has plenty of law on his side if the proposed factory docs in fact become a nuisance. Minister Speaks At Rotary Club The Rev. T. R. Jenkins, Rotarian and pastor of Ann Street Metho dist church, spoke on human rights at the Beaufort Rotary club meet ing Tuesday night at the Inlet inn. He tolil Rotanans that the present day problems on human right* (nub) solved Iflr practic ??ng the of Cvutitnity. Hum?tn rights were first con sidered in the Code of Hammurabi 4,000 years aeo. Mr. Jenkins re lated. They referred to in the Justinian code, and one of the greatest steps forward in estab lishing the rights of human beings was made in the drafting of the Magna Carta in England in 1216. The speaker slated that human rights were set forth in the Na poleonic code and the United States Declaration of Indepen dence. Modern times has focal rated attention on human rights because of a series of wars and .he advancement of science bring ing the world closer, Mr.- Jenkins continued. The formation of a committee on human rights in the United \ations shows that this interna tional body recognizes that fact. This committee, he said, first had to answer the following questions before it could draw up a human rights charter; Is man an animal or superior to animals? What is the place of the individual in modern society? What is the re lationship between man and state, the individual and ?he law, and what are man's ultimate loyalties? Human rights have been dealt with by Christianity through the centuries. Yet the United Nations has failed to accept its principles, the League of Nations failed be cause it neglected God, declared the' minister, and Christianity has been cast aside when it could be the instrument by which human rights problems could be solved. Two gflests attended Tuesday night's meeting, Larry Whitehead of Abilene, Kan., and W. H. Alex* ander of Warren, Pa. The seafood dinners were pre pared at Holden's restaurant and served at thte Inlet inn.
